Kalou still has close links in the capital and makes regular trips back to watch former club Chelsea.

And despite being settled in Lille he would give serious consideration to a return to England this summer should he receive a concrete offer from the Premier League.

Tottenham considered a move for Kalou in January, while he has also come close to joining Arsenal more than once in the last two years and a renewed offer from either club would certainly suit the player.

Substitute: Kalou failed to hold down a regular starting spot when he was at Chelsea

Winner: Whilst at Chelsea Kalou (left) won one Premier League title, four FA Cups and one Champions League
